The method exploits an effective and language-independent semi-distance measure defined for the space of individuals, that is based on a finite number of dimensions corresponding to a committee of discriminating features (represented by concept descriptions). A maximally discriminating group of features can be obtained with the randomized optimization methods described in the paper. An experimentation with some ontologies proves the feasibility of our method and its effectiveness in terms of clustering validity indices. Then, with a supervised learning phase, each cluster can be assigned with a refined or newly constructed intensional definition expressed in the adopted language. We propose a method for exploiting the clustering results for concept drift and novelty detection
